What if the samples were shipped in small souffle cups with lids. Nothing perishable just a couple of small chunks of cake with buttercream. Has anyone ever done this before? How did it turn out?

I have an out of town bride who cannot make it to my area any time soon. Thought this would help her with her cake choices..

Hello. I've done this a few times and it's worked very well. I've never tried during hot summer months, eventhough my cakes/icings are non-perishable.

I shipped them exactly the way your described and they reached the destination just fine.

Thanks for responding.. I was beginning to think I was just a little silly for suggesting it! Glad to hear it can be successful!

I don't see any problem with it. There are people who sell cupcakes in mason jars and ship them, so it's definitely doable.
